How many poo's are normal for a BF baby?

[PolkaTots]

I recently enrolled a breast fed baby, which I've had before, but it's been awhile. How many poo's are normal ? She's going 5-6 times while she's here. The DCM says she's getting over a virus, but she's been doing this for the 2 weeks I've had her...and by the end if last week, half the crew had pretty loose stools....and now I'm not feeling so great this morn

every child is different . It is common for some to go every time they eat. What is normal for that child is what matters, and the consistency. There is a difference between cottage cheesey and liquid.

how old?

My twins had a BM every diaper change until they were about 6 or 7 months old. And then they still pooped a lot compared to their formula fed friends. I think I remember the lactation consultant said it's because breastmilk just gets processed quicker by their system than formula.

This has been my experience too.

I've had BF babies poo every single diaper change. My last BF baby was here 4 days a week (7-2) and "maybe" poo'ed once while at daycare the entire time she was BF.

Definitely an individual thing.

It is individual. Mine used to every feeding when I had oversupply issues. Now she goes once a day, twice at most (9 months). Some of my friend's kids go every feeding still and are around this age.
